I’m wondering what kind of background checks, personality tests or whatever the Durham Sheriff’s Department uses when employing deputies. Whatever they use, it’s not working. I’m thinking that if an applicant might, you know, end up being suspected of murder for hire, people trafficking and cocaine use and distribution, that might show up at some point in the interviews. Sheriff Worth Hill is not too happy about it:

Still “furious” about his deputies’ alleged involvement — either directly or on the periphery — in the purportedly seedy on-goings of La Zona nightclub, Hill said he is seriously considering prohibiting all of his deputies from doing “off-duty work” work at bars and nightclubs.

Maybe he should seriously consider employing a better employee-screening procedure.
